E-mail Content as Records
Microsoft
Office SharePoint Server 2007 records
management features include the ability for providing
consistent, policy-based solutions for managing e-mail content
across Microsoft Office Outlook® 2007, Microsoft Exchange Server
2007, and SharePoint
2007.
This is accomplished through managed mail folders and mail
management policies.
Managed mail folders
Working in conjunction with Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, managed
mail folders help records managers and compliance officers manage
the e-mail in individual mailboxes more effectively by defining a
set of standard folders, each with an explicit business purpose, in
which individual employees can file their e-mail. These folders can
be deployed to individual information workers based on their roles
within the organisation, so people who fill equivalent roles across
a company can have similar top-level filing structures in their
mailboxes.
Mail management policies
Behind each managed mail folder is a set of rules and mail
management policies, in addition to a written policy statement.
Policies can be applied to any e-mail folder such as Inbox,
Drafts, and Sent Items and a default policy can be applied to other
folders that are not explicitly named.
